Chapter 707 Complaints From Several New Soldiers

Xi Yu said no more, and the two of them fell into silence again, and the air around them seemed to become a little solemn.

After a while, Cao Rui seemed to suddenly remember something. He raised his head and looked at Xi Yu, opened his mouth, but hesitated. Xi Yu noticed something strange about him, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "What?"

Cao Rui hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head and said softly: "It's nothing."

After Xi Yu finished speaking, he turned around to leave. He turned back again and said with a smile: "Cao Rui, I wish your business will become more prosperous."

After hearing this, Cao Rui's face showed a hint of surprise at first, and then was occupied by a complicated expression.

His lips trembled slightly, and he was filled with emotions, as if there were thousands of words stuck in his throat, and he was at a loss for words.

Cao Rui stood there blankly, staring at Xi Yu's back as he walked away, his eyes showing nostalgia and gratitude.

He thought silently in his heart: "This blessing is too heavy, too heavy..."

It wasn't until Xi Yu's figure disappeared from the end of his sight that Cao Rui slowly withdrew his gaze and sighed deeply.

On the other side, a new day quietly arrives.

Zhao Yun woke up from his sleep and suddenly felt as if his body was being eaten by thousands of ants. His brows were furrowed, his face was pale, and large beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead.

At this moment, the little girl hurriedly appeared next to him with medicine in her hands and said crisply: "Zhao Yun, the lady made it very clear yesterday that you must apply the antidote on time. This is prepared for you."

Zhao Yun was grinning in pain at this moment and had no time to say anything. He quickly grabbed the medicine bowl, raised his head and drank the antidote in one gulp. After drinking, his body couldn't stop shaking, and soon he started to break out in cold sweat, as if he had been fished out of water.

Next, Zhao Yun could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and cursed loudly: "That Mrs. Huayue is simply crazy!" His voice trembled with anger, and his eyes were filled with resentment.

After hearing this, the little girl just sneered and didn't say anything.

After a while, Mrs. Huayue actually came in person.

As soon as Zhao Yun saw her, he was like a dynamite barrel being ignited. He shouted angrily and insulted her again: "You vicious woman, you will be punished for doing such a despicable thing!"

Mrs. Huayue's face darkened, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and looked at Zhao Yun coldly.

Mrs. Huayue said coldly: "Today I will send someone to report the information to Xi Yu and ask Xi Yu to get the money quickly."

When Zhao Yun heard this, he sneered and said, "The Prime Minister is not in Youzhou at all, but has gone overseas. It is useless to find someone to report the information."

Mrs. Huayue was stunned for a moment, then said: "There's no need to worry, I'll just continue to ask for your meal money, and I'll ask Xi Yu to get it back twice as much when the time comes."

After saying that, she laughed crazily. The laughter was sharp and harsh, as if it was going to penetrate people's eardrums.

After laughing, she mocked Zhao Yun again: "If you think that a scholar can be killed and not humiliated, why don't you commit suicide, Zhao Yun? Why don't you have the courage?"

Zhao Yun was so angry that his face was livid, he looked at her fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "You are such a snake-hearted woman, don't be so arrogant, you will get retribution one day!"

Mrs. Huayue glanced at Zhao Yun with disdain, snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, with your current appearance, you still dare to say such arrogant words? Just wait and be redeemed by Xi Yu with money."

Zhao Yun clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his arms popped out, and roared: "Don't get too proud too soon, the Prime Minister will definitely not let you go!"

Mrs. Huayue didn't take it seriously, turned around and left, saying as she walked: "Then I'll wait and see who doesn't let whom go."

Zhao Yun looked at her retreating back and secretly vowed in his heart that if he had a chance to escape, he would make this vicious woman pay the price.

His eyes were burning with anger and unyielding flames, and he could only endure it secretly, waiting for a turning point to come.

On the other side, Tuobayu has been staying at the old man's home. After a few days of getting along day and night, she gradually learned that the old man's name was Wan Henghua.

Tuobayu said sadly: "Uncle Wan, I really hope to recover my memory as soon as possible and figure out my life experience."

The old man looked at her lovingly and comforted: "My child, you don't have to worry about this, just live here with peace of mind. I will treat you like my own daughter."

After saying this, the old man couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his eyes became distant and sad, and he said slowly: "Alas, my miserable daughter is no longer alive. If she is still alive, she should be the same age as you. "

Next, the old man's eyes turned red and tears rolled down uncontrollably. He sobbed like a child and murmured his daughter's name.

Seeing this scene, Tuobayu felt unbearable in her heart. She gently held the old man's hand and comforted her softly: "Uncle Wan, don't be too sad. The deceased is gone. I will always be with you in the future." of."

Her eyes were full of concern and sympathy, and her voice was as soft as the spring breeze.

After listening to Tuobayu's comfort, the old man calmed down a little, but he still choked and said, "My child, you are such a considerate person."

Tuobayu continued to comfort the old man, handed him a handkerchief, and stayed with him patiently until the old man's mood gradually calmed down.

Xi Yu came to the temple again, his brows furrowed and his steps a little heavy.

I have been thinking about a question in my mind: Tuobayu is missing, should I mobilize people to look for it?

But later, he thought carefully, if the other party was really hiding on purpose, even if he sent someone to look for him, what effect would it have?

When he unknowingly came to the Buddhist temple, he saw Ouyang Linlin quietly chanting there.

He couldn't help but laugh, and saw that Ouyang Linlin had a peaceful face, her eyes slightly closed, and she was muttering something in her mouth. She really looked like she was enjoying it.

Xi Yu walked into the Buddhist temple lightly, fearing that he would disturb Ouyang Linlin.

He stood quietly aside, looking at Ouyang Linlin's pious appearance, and the boredom in his heart actually dissipated a little.

After a long while, Ouyang Linlin slowly opened her eyes and saw Xiyu standing there. A pleasant smile appeared on her face and she said, "Why are you here?"

Xiyu walked up and replied with a smile, "I walked here unconsciously. Seeing you so focused, I didn't say anything."

Ouyang Linlin stood up, gently brushed off the dust on her body, and said, "I was chanting Buddha just now, and my heart was particularly calm, as if all the troubles in the world had left me."

Xiyu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Looking at you, you really have some meaning of transcending the world."

The two smiled at each other, and a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere filled the Buddhist hall.

Next, Xiyu frowned slightly, with a very strange expression on his face, and asked in confusion: "Didn't Xiaohong accompany you to chant Buddha? Why didn't I see her?"

Ouyang Linlin shook her head gently, raised the corners of her mouth, and said with a little helplessness: "Xiaohong couldn't stand it at all. She just chanted a few sentences and went back to her room mumbling."

Xiyu couldn't help laughing and said: "This little girl is still so impatient."

Ouyang Linlin smiled and responded: "She is lively by nature. It is really difficult for her to sit here and chant Buddha quietly."

The two talked about Xiaohong one by one, and the atmosphere in the Buddhist hall became more relaxed and happy.

Then, Xiyu smiled and said to Ouyang Linlin: "Then I won't disturb you. You continue. I'll go back to my room first." After that, he turned and left.

On the other side, Chachatu got the news that after the efforts of the soldiers, many new soldiers have appeared now.

Although many new soldiers were forced to do so and were unwilling, they had to work hard to train the soldiers because of the current situation.

After receiving this news, he was very happy. His originally frowned brows instantly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth rose. He laughed loudly: "Haha, great! In this way, our strength will be greatly increased!"

Then, his wanton eyes became greedy, and he continued to recruit several imperial concubines and continued the excessive and happy things.

Several imperial concubines hurried over, with flattering or helpless expressions on their faces.

Chachatu lay on the couch, took one of the imperial concubines into his arms, and teased her wantonly.

At this time, outside the court, a loyal old minister heard about this and stamped his feet in anger, saying anxiously: "If this continues, the country will no longer be a country!"

However, Chachatu completely ignored the opinions of the outside world and was still immersed in his extravagant enjoyment.

On the training ground, the newly enlisted soldiers were all frowning and complaining privately. "

What is this? We were forced to come here. How can we fight?" a soldier said indignantly.

"Alas, there is no way. Let's endure it first and see what happens." Another soldier sighed helplessly.

At this time, the general in charge of training came over and shouted loudly: "Everyone cheer up. Anyone who dares to be lazy will be punished by military law!" The soldiers had to cheer up and continue training.

In the training ground, although the soldiers were reluctant, the training was still going on intensely.

A young and energetic recruit was severely whipped by the general for irregular movements. He gritted his teeth, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

At the same time, Chachatu's absurd behavior in the palace continued.

Several imperial concubines smiled beside him, but their hearts were full of fear and disgust.

Some upright ministers in the court gathered together and discussed countermeasures with worry.

A minister said solemnly: "If this continues, the country will be in danger. We must find a way to persuade His Majesty."

Another minister shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty is not willing to listen to good advice now. If you rashly persuade him, I am afraid you will get into trouble."

Everyone fell into silence, and the atmosphere was depressing and heavy.

In the tent in the distance, the beaten recruit secretly conspired with several companions. He lowered his voice and said: "This kind of life can't go on. We have to find a way to get out of this predicament. Even if the border is strictly checked, we have to find a way. We can't just wait to die here in vain."

A slightly timid companion looked embarrassed and said in a trembling voice: "But if we are caught, that's a dead end!"

The recruit glared at him and said sternly: "Are you willing to be used as a pawn here and let others manipulate you? Maybe one day you will die on the battlefield, and you won't even leave a complete body."

Everyone was silent, struggling in their hearts.

After a while, another companion lowered his voice and said, "Why don't we observe secretly first, look for opportunities and loopholes, and then make plans."

Everyone nodded, thinking that this might be the safest way at the moment.

The recruit clenched his fists and secretly vowed to find a chance to escape.

Xianbei.

That day, Hong Gang came to Tuoba Tianlong with a solemn expression.

He observed secretly without making a sound, and saw that Tuoba Tianlong's complexion was indeed a little bad, which was obviously related to the drugs he took.

However, if you don't look carefully, it is really difficult for ordinary people to notice.

Hong Gang bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Chief, I propose to organize a hunting activity. Firstly, we can exercise everyone's skills, and secondly, we can also add some supplies to the tribe."

After hearing this, Tuoba Tianlong showed a very satisfied look on his face. He waved his hand and said boldly: "Okay! In that case, let's call on everyone to go hunting together tomorrow!"

When Hong Gang heard Tuoba Tianlong's decision, his face suddenly burst into an extremely excited smile, and his eyes flashed with excitement. He quickly bowed and saluted, his tone full of gratitude: "Thank you, leader! Leader is wise!"

Tuoba Tianlong nodded slightly and said with a majestic look: "Go, tell everyone, and then get ready."

Hong Gang saluted again and responded: "Yes, leader! I'll do it right now!"

When he turned around and retreated, his steps seemed particularly brisk, and he was secretly thinking about how to tell everyone the good news and how to carefully prepare the hunting so that it would go smoothly.

Hong Gang hurriedly told many people about the hunting.

When everyone heard the news, everyone's face was filled with joy and they cheered.

After Hong Gang completed his mission, he returned to his camp.

He sat leisurely on the chair, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip. The smile on his face became brighter and his eyes showed uncontrollable excitement.

He secretly thought proudly in his heart: "Haha, Tuoba Tianlong, this idiot, doesn't know that he is about to die soon. Soon, he will be poisoned and die, and then everything will be under my control."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, and the laughter was full of insidiousness and greed.

On the other side, Xi Yu returned to the guest room and immediately saw Xiao Hong standing there, looking slightly embarrassed.

As soon as Xiaohong saw Xi Yu, she immediately saluted Xi Yu respectfully, lowered her head, and said timidly: "Prime Minister, I really don't want to recite Buddha's name there. I don't have the perseverance. I hope the Prime Minister won't blame me."

After saying that, he secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Xi Yu's face, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Xi Yu looked at Xiao Hong gently, with a relieved smile on his face, waved his hands and said, "Don't be so nervous. This thing is all about fate. You can't force it. How can I blame you?" ” But in my heart, I thought that this little girl was sincere.

After hearing this, Xiao Hong finally felt the big stone in her heart fall to the ground. She raised her head, a grateful smile bloomed on her face, and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your generosity."

Xi Yu sat down, staring at Xiao Hong carefully with burning eyes. His focused eyes made Xiao Hong feel incredible, and she couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

Xi Yu suddenly asked: "Xiao Hong, you have reached the age of marriage. Do you have a man you like?"

Xiaohong's face suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple. She lowered her head, fidgeted with her clothes with her hands uneasily, and said coquettishly: "Prime Minister, why do you suddenly ask such a question? It's really true. It’s so embarrassing!”

But my heart was like a deer bumping around, panicking.

Seeing this, Xi Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't be shy, I just care about you."

Xiaohong raised her head and said firmly: "Prime Minister, I really don't have a man I like, and I don't plan to get married. I just want to serve the lady my whole life."

Xi Yu frowned slightly and said earnestly: "Xiao Hong, it's human nature for men to get married when they get older, and for girls to get married when they get older. How can you say you won't get married if you don't want to get married?"

Xiaohong stamped her feet, her face flushed with anxiety, and she said coquettishly: "Prime Minister, please stop talking, or I will run out."

Seeing Xiaohong's appearance, Xi Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore, don't scare you away."

But he was thinking that he must discuss this issue with Ouyang Linlin when he had time.

Xi Yu's smile that had just faded faded again, and his thoughts suddenly drifted to Dongfang Hong and Wenxuan again.

He sighed secretly in his heart. He hadn't contacted them for a long time and didn't know if they were okay.

Recalling that Wenxuan seemed to have said that if you can't find a suitable man, you won't marry.

Xi Yu couldn't help but shook his head slightly, thinking to himself, "Why are everyone so stubborn?

Thinking of this, Xi Yu's brows frowned slightly, and a trace of worry appeared on his face.

Xiao Hong suddenly showed a pleading look on her face, tightly grasped Xi Yu's sleeves, and said eagerly: "Prime Minister, please, please don't discuss this issue with the lady. I really have no such idea. Miss, please be patient. I am like a sister. If I were to leave you, it would be worse than killing me. It would make my life worse than death."

Her eyes were shining with tears, and her expression was extremely sincere.

Xi Yu looked at Xiao Hong's appearance, sighed, and said with emotion: "Oh, Xiao Hong, your loyalty to Ouyang Linlin is really rare. Although you and Ouyang Linlin are master and servant in name, but In fact, they are sisters. Ouyang Linlin is really lucky to have a maid like you by her side. "

After saying that, there was a trace of appreciation in his eyes.

Xiao Hong stared at Xi Yu closely, her eyes full of eagerness and expectation, and emphasized again: "Prime Minister, you must promise me not to mention this matter to the lady."

Xi Yu smiled helplessly and said comfortingly: "Okay, okay, Xiaohong, I promise you. Just relax."

Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief, her expression softened slightly, and she said softly: "Thank you, Prime Minister. Xiaohong is grateful."

Seeing Xiaohong's expression, Xiyu felt very amused. (End of this chapter)
